History Of Carey Hilliard's

After hitch-hiking to Savannah from Jesup, GA, Carey Hilliard opened his first restaurant in 1960, in a closed National Root Beer stand building on Skidaway Rd. and Sunset Drive. Carey and his wife, Kathleen, re-imaged family-priced dining with the convenience of take-out and curbside service. By the 1960’s drive-ups were closing & replaced by a drive-thru, but Carey bucked the trend. He kept the old drive-up we now call the “curb"!

What our customers are saying about us!

"I love Carey Hillard's. Every time I come home to Savannah, I have to come here. It has good, fresh seafood at a decent local price. There is no need to go downtown to the touristy seafood restaurants where you are paying double the price and getting half the portion size"

"Best BBQ and the sauce! It's my favorite! Been eating here for lunch with my grandma for the better part of ten years and it never disappoints. Never had to wait, lots of parking, many locations around town and they're all incredibly consistent. Love it. A+ for this Savannah favorite."

"Delicious! Our tour group of 44 people just ate here. Not only was the food wonderful but the portions really large! You will not be disappointed. P.S. Try the onion rings. WOW!"

Kim

from Yelp

"Every time I come to Savannah, GA it doesn't feel complete until I stop at a Carey Hilliard's. Southern fried chicken wings? They got you! You want authentic hush puppies? No problem! How about some golden crinkled french fries or sweet tea? No worries! There is nothing that doesn't taste good, and if you in your mood for some fried food, you have to stop here!"

"Might be the best onion rings I have eaten. Love the Brunswick stew. Also had the oyster stew- what can I say, I don’t get this at home. Great service, good hot food, cooked to order."

"I have been going for decades. It is hard to imagine Savannah without Carey Hilliard’s. The food is very good for the money. The fries are the best. The shrimp is usually cooked to perfection whether it is boiled or fried. If you visit Savanah please treat yourself to lunch or dinner at one of the Savannah greats!"
